Pasta is a primo, not a main

A traditional Italian meal: antipasto, primo (pasta), secondo (meat or fish), contorno (vegetable side), dolce (dessert).

You don't have to order all of them. Two courses (antipasto + primo, or primo + secondo) is normal for lunch.

Don't order pasta as a side dish with your meat — they come separately. Pasta first, then the meat course.
